moving on up and stuff

I've developed a really bad habit of not reading press releases anymore, but for some unknown reason I opened this one and thought that maybe I should share with you that Robyn Cooke and Neil Doveton are now part of 36Boutiques. Robyn is Head of Content and Neil Doveton is Head of Menswear. I am so excited for this is going to bring for 36Boutiques, because as far as I'm concerned because of this the world of online fashion retail is going to change.

str.crd stuff and stuff

So life's been pretty shit this month. But not shit as in it sucks balls, but shit as in I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to blog, take photos for the blog or sort out the fact that my camera to take photos for my blog is broken. I'm not complaining though... being busy is good, fulfilling and actually quite engaging at this moment in my life. Plus, everything I've been busy on is pretty amazing and I can't really believe that people are coming to me or asking me to be part of some of these initiatives.

For those of you who saw me at STR.CRD, you know how manic and crazy it was for me. I'm pretty sure that if you saw me, I was probably running somewhere with a case of Red Bull or two or three or four. The event was dope and a lot of hard work for me and I really didn't have time to take photos, but I managed a few shots of the cutest kid I have ever seen dancing to Da L.E.S during the live performances. I also met Vashtie, who I love and I managed to make it onto her blog, which excites me beyond even my own comprehension. For awesome photos from the day, you should check out my darling friend Andrew Berry's photos on we-are-awesome

this is why i'm obsessed with going to japan

I am literally obsessed with going to Japan, and this is just one example of why I need to go before my head explodes (Dramatic much?)

Discovered via Coolhunting, this unbelievably cool and experimental collection by Japanese designer Kunihiko Morinaga for his label Anrealage titled "Low", has left me totally and completely inspired. You need to click on these links and check out the shoes and store design. Unbelievable.

summer dreams in winter... number 3: supremebeing stitch sneakers

Yeah yeah I know I'm supposed to be blogging about a pair of strappy sandals or espadrilles, but seriously these Supremebeing Stitch sneakers from their Capsule Collection at Stuttafords could be a welcome addition to my summer wardrobe. Canvas, lightweight and in this great colour I can totally see many a summer days picnicking at Zoo Lake spent in these sneakers, my floral silk shorts and a white vest. I love summer!

oh this is so pretty i could die

This is why I love the internet...

"Since its creation in 2006, directional label twenty-seven names has inspired a cult-like following. With art and fashion degree backgrounds respectively, designers Rachel Easting and Anjali Stewart cite contemporary art as the basis for their collections. Their label is ever-migrating and can be found in stores across New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom, and the United States."

I found these images on the TwentySevenNames blog
 

me please

You know Robert Verdi, the guy who used to host Fashion Police before Joan and her crew took over? Well, he (because he’s famous I guess), got his Van’s customized using some of his old Hermès silk scarves. I know he did this so that he could be the only person with these customised  Hermès Van’s, but honestly, someone at Van’s and Hermès should consider running atleast one pair and selling it to jealous public like myself.

the bryan boy chronicles with marie claire and sunglass hut...

I really want to write something about the past week I had, but what does one say about a week where I got to meet blogger Bryan Boy and go to the Marie Claire Prix d'Excellance de la Mode Awards, and then on top of all of that hang out with Cape Town based bloggers at the bloggers workshop at Tjing Tjing Bar in Cape Town?

I had a lot of fun, which is why I barely have any photos, and for that reason I think I need to invest in one of those "camera camera's "- the ones that'll remind me to take photos because  its hanging from my neck and not sitting tucked away in my clutch bag and stop drinking champagne.
